覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形は stride「大股で歩く」。語末の黙字 e を取って -ing を付けた形で、stride /straɪd/ の長い母音は striding /ˈstraɪdɪŋ/ でも保たれます。stride across a platform や come striding into a room のように、長い歩幅で堂々と進む場面と結び付けて覚えます。
Connect striding directly with the base verb stride, meaning “walk with long, confident steps.” To form it, remove the final silent e from stride and add -ing; the long i sound /aɪ/ remains unchanged. Picture someone striding across a station platform or coming striding into a meeting room. These common patterns emphasize purposeful, energetic movement. Unlike simply walking, striding suggests noticeably long steps and often conveys confidence, urgency, or determination.
例文

The manager came striding into the meeting room.
マネージャーは会議室へ大股で入ってきました。
She kept striding along the road despite the heavy rain.
彼女は激しい雨にもかかわらず、道を大股で歩き続けました。

striding の語源・成り立ち Etymology
striding は stride の進行形で、語源は古英語 stridan「大またで歩く」。昔から「歩幅を大きく取って進む」感覚をもつ語なので、ただ歩くのでなく勢いよく歩む「大股で歩く」が自然な意味になる。関連語は astride, bestride。
Striding is formed from stride by dropping its final silent e and adding the participial suffix -ing. Stride comes from Old English strīdan, which meant to move with long steps or to bestride something. Its historical core is therefore the idea of extending the legs widely while moving. The same physical image survives in modern striding, whether the form functions as part of a continuous verb phrase or as a gerund.
